Shajar-e-Ilm is Proud of Maham Ali's Work

Shajar-e-Ilm is a group created and fueled by the passion of its young members --passion to create a society more wholesome than the one that we were given. Maham Ali is one of the founding members of Shajar-e-Ilm, who over and again demonstrates an undying passion and commitment for change.

Shajar-e-Ilm is very proud of Maham's recent efforts to raise funds for the family of Pervez Masih, a poor janitor at the International Islamic University who gave his life while preventing a suicide bomber from entering the women's cafeteria at the International Islamic University. Pervez Masih saved over 300 lives that day, but lost his own life, leaving behind a widow and a destitute family (CNN). His heroic act went largely unrewarded, so Maham launched a fund-raising initiative for the Pervez Masih's family, collecting Rs. 52,500.

Please see pictures and read more about Pervez Masih and Maham on the FunkorChildart Blog.

  4. Funny Thoughts On Life
    1. A penny saved is a government oversight.
    2. The real art of conversation is not only to say the right thing at the right time, but also to leave unsaid the wrong thing at the tempting moment.
    3. The older you get, the tougher it is to lose weight, because by then your body and your fat have gotten to be really good friends.
    4. The easiest way to find something lost around the house is to buy a replacement.
    5. He who hesitates is probably right.
    6. Did you ever notice: The Roman Numerals for forty (40) are ‘ XL.’
    7. If you think there is good in everybody, you haven’t met everybody.
    8. If you can smile when things go wrong, you have someone in mind to blame.
    9. The sole purpose of a child’s middle name is so he can tell when he’s really in trouble.
    10. There’s always a lot to be thankful for if you take time to look for it. For example I am sitting here thinking how nice it is that wrinkles don’t hurt.
    11. Did you ever notice: When you put the 2 words ‘The’ and ‘IRS’ together it spells ‘Theirs.’
    12. Aging: Eventually you will reach a point when you stop lying about your age and start bragging about it.
    13. The older we get, the fewer things seem worth waiting in line for.
    14. Some people try to turn back their odometers. Not me, I want people to know ‘why’ I look this way. I’ve traveled a long way and some of the roads weren’t paved.
    15. When you are dissatisfied and would like to go back to youth, think of Algebra.
    16. You know you are getting old when everything either dries up or leaks.
    17. One of the many things no one tells you about aging is that it is such a nice change from being young.
    18. Ah, being young is beautiful, but being old is comfortable.
    19. First you forget names, then you forget faces. Then you forget to pull up your zipper. It’s worse when you forget to pull it down.
    20. Long ago when men cursed and beat the ground with sticks, it was called witchcraft. Today, it’s called golf…

  5. AADMI TO TUM BHI HO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    Zindagi say dartay ho?
    Zindagi to tum bhi ho, zindagi to hum bhi hain
    Zindagi say dartay ho...
    Aadmi say dartay ho?
    Aadmi to tum bhi ho, aadmi to hum bhi hain
    Aadmi zubaan bhi hay, aadmi bayaan bhi hay, us say tum nahi dartay...
    Harf aur manay kay rishta-e-ahan say aadmi hay wabasta
    Aadmi kay daman say zindagi hay wabasta, us say tum nahi dartay...
    Ankahi say dartay ho?
    Jo abhi nahi aayi us ghari say dartay ho, us ghari ki amad ki agahi say dartay ho?
    Pahlay bhi to guzray hain dor na rasayi kay, bairiya khudayii kay
    Phir bhi ye samajhtay ho haich arzumandi ya shab-e-zuban bandi hay rahay khuda wandi
    Tum magar ye kya jano...
    Lab agar nahi hiltay, hath jaag uthtay hain
    Hath jaag uthtay hain rah ka nishan bankar
    Noor ki zuban bankar
    Hath bol uthtay hain subh ki aazan bankar
    Roshni say dartay ho?
    Roshni to tum bhi ho, roshni to hum bhi hain
    Roshni say dartay ho...
    Shahar ki faseelon par daiw ka jo saaya tha, paak hogaya akhir
    Raat ka libada bhi chaak hogaya akhir
    Khaak hogaya akhir...
    Ashdahan main insaan say fard ki nawa ayii
    Raat ki sadaa ayii
    Rah-e-shauq main jesay rah ro ka khoon lapkay
    Aadmi chalak uthay
    Aadmi hansay dekho, shahar phir basay dekho
    Tum abhi say dartay ho?
    Haan abhi to tum bhi ho, haan abhi to hum bhi hain
    Tum abhi say dartay ho...!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
